* GuideDangIt: Some of the best weapons in the second game, including the swords you need to find to unlock the Mournbringer, are hidden in out of the way areas you'd never think to look in unless you knew beforehand that they were there. The Earth Blade, in particular, requires you to save Nichols the Bold from being electrocuted by some Trogs while you're in the Shadowmire. Nichols ''can'' die, and if he does, [[LostForever you can forget the Earth Blade or Mournbringer]].

* DownerEnding: The ending of the first game, totally. Delon, Rynn's younger brother that you are trying to save the whole time [[spoiler:ends up being possessed by the spirit of [[BigBad Navaros]], and she has to fight him in order to snap him out of it. She succeeds, but he falls off the edge of the area, and into the abyss of the Rift, screaming his sister's name. What we see after that is Rynn, who is laying on the ground and looking over the edge, muttering about how sorry she was for failing to save him. It is then that we get the actual final boss fight with [[BigBad Navaros]] in his true form. After he is defeated, we get the final cutscene with Rynn and Arokh trying to find Delon. We never know his fate until the second game, though, where spoiler:he is revealed to be dead.]]

* CoolBigSis: Rynn to Delon, [[spoiler:before he died]]. This is a sister that was willing to awaken a dragon and [[BondCreatures bond]] [[{{Synchronization}} with]] him just to save him. [[spoiler:But sadly it didn't work out in the end]].

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: At first, Arokh was ''not'' pleased at having been awoken by Rynn, ''especially'' just to rescue her brother. Rynn, obviously not amused at having her brother spoken so poorly of, talks him down for it. Only then was he willing to listen to what she had to say, because he was legitimately impressed at how she was willing to stand up to him, a dragon who could have toasted her right then and there.

* ShoutOut: There's a pure black sword called Mournbringer in the first game, which howls with distant screams of many, and it gives you health back every time you hurt something with it. [[Literature/TheElricSaga Stormbringer + Mournblade = Mournbringer?]] Man, I love that weapon. It also exists in ''The Ancients' Gates'' [[spoiler:though if you miss picking up even one of the Swords of the Order of the Flame, Brekk will not have it in stock]]. There's also [[AnneRice Lestat's Blade]] if you know where to look.

* WhatTheHellPlayer: If you hit Arokh with one of your weapons, he'll fly into the air and yell at you to, "watch where you stick that!" Also, injuring him does damage to your health as well.
